October’s Word of the Month is ‘Biceps’. Biceps means ‘two-heads’. There are two muscles in the human body that carry the name biceps and have two attachment points (rather than one) at one end of the muscle; the Biceps Brachii in the front of the upper arm, and the Biceps Femoris in the back of the thigh.
Makes the phrase “just going to work the biceps” a little more complicated now, doesn’t it?!�

You wouldn’t think it, but walking is actually a pretty complex activity! Did you know that you use around 200 muscles in just a single step?

Walking uses the foot, leg, gluteal and hip muscles, plus a bunch of stabilising muscles to help keep you upright! Now, imagine having a small issue in just one or two of these muscles – it can throw out your gait or walking pattern, causing imbalances and other issues, as well as pain.

Don’t worry, because we may be able to help fix your issues and restore your normal function. Want to know more? Let us know below and we can schedule you an appointment!�� Y

Did you know we can help with your breathing? And THAT is important!

A healthy diaphragm helps maximise your oxygen intake, with minimal effort. When it’s not working quite as it should, then your body begins relying on all its secondary breathing muscles (especially those around the neck). This can cause imbalances and muscle tightness, leading to pain in the neck, shoulders and upper back. So, if you’re experiencing tightness in any of these areas, come and see us – we’ll get your breathing patterns sorted and have you breathing at max capacity again in no time.

And… exhale.

Confused whether you should use heat or ice for treatment of an injury?
Heat helps to reduce pain, increase blood flow, and relax tight muscles.

Ice helps to reduce pain, reduce blood flow, and ease swelling caused by inflammation.

Both can be used for treatment of multiple injuries but need to be used at the right times depending on the injury. Speak to us today to find out more! After all, using the wrong one could do more harm than good.��

Plantar fasciopathy is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a piece of thick tissue (similar to a tendon or ligament) that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. The inflammation is commonly caused by repetitive strain injury to that thick tissue. Things like excessive walking or running, or inappropriate shoes are common causes.

Been sick lately? 🤧 You might still be feeling it.

After a bad flu or viral illness, it is common to notice some lingering aches and pains; sore ribs from all the coughing, tightness in your upper back, stiff neck or general muscle soreness.

If you're dealing with ongoing aches or discomfort, osteopathic treatment may help support your body's recovery and get you moving comfortably again.

Book an appointment with our osteopaths and let's help you feel like yourself again!

**If you're experiencing severe chest pain, difficulty breathing or other concerning symptoms, seek urgent medical attention**

A huge well done to our osteopath, Tom, who recently ran a half marathon in an incredible 1 hour 29 minutes - a new personal best! 🏃‍♂️👏

And even aside from being a PB, a sub-1:30 half marathon is a pretty incredible effort for anyone!

As an osteopath, Tom understands that running well isn’t just about fitness. It’s about how your whole body moves, how you manage load and recovery between sessions and listening to those little niggles before they become bigger problems. It’s something Tom works with everyday in the clinic and is great to see him putting that knowledge into practice with his own running.

We’re all very proud of him. Although we’re sure he’ll be the first to tell you it wasn’t just good osteopathy that got him across the finish line!

Humans have a total of 24 ribs, set out in 12 pairs. The ribs form a protective cage around our vital organs, including the heart, lungs and liver. The ribs are also an important part of our breathing. There are three main types of ribs:

True ribs - these attach directly to the chest bone (aka sternum)
False ribs - these attach indirectly to the chest bone via pieces of cartilage at the front of the rib cage
Floating ribs - these literally ‘float’ at the back of our bodies and have no extension to the front.

And breathe…. Now who knew this fact already?

Recently two of our osteopaths Kimberley and Amber headed off to Osaka. Known as “The Kitchen of Japan”, both of our osteopaths expanded their taste buds and accepted the Kuidaore culture (“eat until you drop”) in the heart of Dontonbori, trying sensational foods like takoyaki and okonomiyaki.

But the foodie trip wasn’t the sole purpose of their adventures (or so they say). Kimberley and Amber went to a conference to expand their osteopathic knowledge and treatment skills for treating the head, neck and jaw. Both Kimberley and Amber have a strong interest in treating these areas and recognising the important connection between the jaw, neck and the rest of the body. By expanding their knowledge in this area, they can continue to provide a more holistic osteopathic approach to your care.

The course they completed will help if you experience any of the following symptoms:

- Headaches or migraines
- Neck pain, stiffness or reduced movement
- Jaw pain, tension or clicking
- Shoulder and upper back tension
- Pain or discomfort following an injury
- Postural related aches or discomfort
- Teeth grinding or jaw clenching
